Group Buy - Paintless Dent Repair
I have dealt with two companies to do paintless dent repairs on customers cars. The prices they charge are £50-£60 per dent per panel. I have discussed a group buy with one of them that would go something like this. They would work at my unit for a day (8 hours) and work on as many cars/dents that we throw at them. With the right quantity and mix of dents i think we could reduce the normal price by at least half so £25 - £30 each dent/panel. Further reductions could be achieved if we remove our own internal trim.
If any of you are interested please add your name to the list below and send me a pic of the dent(s) you want doing.

I'll work out the price for each car when i know how many are interested and the work that needs doing to each. If you have any photos of the dents concerned it would be useful. Bonnet dents are the quicker and easier ones to sort as the removal of internal trim if necesary is minimal.

Hello mate,if internal trim were to be removed how much would the price drop(to be honest i think £25/£30 per dent is a bit steep).CHEERS (DAZ).....................

The two companies i have had dealings with work on £50 - £60 per dent/panel when pricing. Although when they started where quite flexible and in one case did dents on 3 panels, front wing, drivers door and bonnet for £60. This is what gave me the idea of a group buy!!
I only mentioned £25/£30 as it took half the time removing / replacing trim and half carrying out the repair and to give an idea of prices. Obviously the idea is to get the work done for the cheapest price.
It seemed to me like most businesses they work on a time basis therefore the best way to get the best price was to send them a list of the dents/cars to be done, get prices then divide it by the numbr of dents and each person would know the cost of their repairs and make a decision if they want to proceed. The prices would only hold if a committment is made to have the work done and to turn up of course.
